1.		The Vesuvius Club: A Lucifer Box Novel from Pocket Books Price: £4.79 Customer Review: I loved this! Thought the characters were all well-drawn and interesting (the names alone are great) and the story was compelling and original. In true mystery style, each chapter ends on a cliffhanger and as a result I could barely put it down... As you would expect from the author the book is very... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Illegal Action from Arrow Books Ltd Price: £4.99 Customer Review: No James Bond smoothie knocking off the baddies and knocking up the birds, Liz Carlyle's character is far more down to earth, far more credible. The women in the book don't fall about screaming when they see something iffy, but get on with the job. Mind you, the blokes in power are often represented... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Stalin's Ghost from Pan Books Price: £4.69 Customer Review: "Gorky Park" - Great convoluted murder mystery set in the Soviet Union. It's a bit overlong. The film version is a simplified travesty. "Polar Star" - My favourite of the books. It's a bit more like a traditional murder mystery as it has everyone trapped together on a fish processing ship.more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		The Bourne Identity from Orion Price: £4.88 Customer Review: I am probably one of the few people in the entire world that didn't like this book. I found the first part really well paced and exciting although it was tedious at times and over steps the mark on gritiness and violence. When Ludlum constantly shows Bournes thoughts in italics it just becomes... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		From Russia with Love, Dr No and Goldfinger (Penguin Modern Classics): WITH Dr. No from Penguin Classics Price: £9.09 Customer Review: I must admit I am reading the novels in order. Why I waited so much to do so I will never know. Guess having seen the films in my youth (I mean the Sean Connery one's... Moore's slapstick was not here not there) put away the idea for too long. What a mistake. Fleming created out of the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Secret Asset from Arrow Books Ltd Price: £5.49 Customer Review: I started reading Rimington with her first book 'At risk', where I found the conclusion a real let down. Then I carried on with her latest 'Dead Line' and again exact same phenomenon,a complete anti-climax ending. Still there is something I like in Rimington's thrillers because I moved on to 'Secret... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of Secret Service (Penguin Popular Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £2.00 Customer Review: This book was recommended to me because I bought the 39 steps by John Buchan so I assumed it would be along similar lines. It took over two thrids of the book before anything remotely interesting happened and there wasn't really a climax to it. Try the 39 steps, or Rogue male by Geoffrey... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Mediterranean Caper (Dirk Pitt) from Berkley Publishing Corporation,U.S. Price: £7.99 Customer Review: I have never been a big fan of action thrillers. The only author I read regularly in this genre is Lee Child and his `Jack Reacher` character, and I enjoy him a lot, so I decided to give Clive Cussler a try. I am happy to say I was not disappointed! Even though "Pacific Vortex" was the first... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Bourne Supremacy from Orion Price: £5.99 Customer Review: If you were hooked with Identity then this book takes the story forward in time, and is good fun. It could do with editing down a bit as I agree it gets a bit slow in the middle but I enjoyed it. I would give Identity 5 stars, Supremacy 3 stars and Ultimatum 4 stars. The films has little to do with... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Spy Who Came in from the Cold from Sceptre Price: £5.99 Customer Review: Although I read this a while ago now I would say it is a thoroughly enjoyable read with a world weary main character and a fantastic plot that twists and turns and keeps you reading on into the night and what an ending. Utterly sad but brilliant for it. And I never knew human beings could be so... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
